McKibbin, Alumni Secretary, East Lansing. Dear M a c: to Between the time I entered M. A. C. and remind things have happened now many me that the name "Agricultural College" no longer tells the truth about our Alma Mater. The addition of the Applied Science course has brought a decided increase of non-agri cultural students. Furthermore, it is not im possible and not undesirable, I believe, that other courses which will further broaden the usefulness of our college may be added in time to come. M. A. C. has long since, ceased to be a tech the nical school of agriculture. Yet because agricultural course was established first, col lege people and public adhere to a name that does not any longer fit. Suppose home eco nomics or engineering had been established first. Now if ever is the time to change. I also favor a name which can be shorten ed into Michigan State College. R. E. Yeatter '21 Ag.

My experience as a teacher, as a supervisor and in administrative work has been, as instructive as my college training. It is interesting that this education and train ing was unnecessary to realize cer tain facts,—for instance, that the name of any thing should honestly and completely represent that for which it stands. for me The Lansing University of Vocational Edu cation or The Michigan State College of Vo cational Training are better names than Michi gan Agricultural College.

When the college was started in 1857 it was intended collegiate rank which should be devoted to one object, in agriculture and that of giving the sciences relating in my day, and so it continued for many years. it was found desirable that a college so closely connected with the life and activity of the people as this, should also give lines, which would aid in the economic development of the state.

The diminutive forward counted 14 of 18 attempts from the foul line—one of the best records of this kind hung up on a Michigan court in recent years. Gilkey also scored three field baskets, shar ing honors with Foster from the floor. The lead see-sawed back and forth through out the game, neither team being able to run up any sort of lead at any time. The result was a frantic, crowd of bleacherites, and what was generally recognized' in Ann Arbor as the best game seen there for many a season. When one of Foster's long shots rolled twice around the rim before falling outside in the last few seconds of play, supporters of both teams nearly had heart failure. Summary: M. A. C.

While the whole team seemed slow ed up, it must be admitted that Normal had a real team and could offer capable opposition to any squad.
